If You, But I

Often, in my dreams I
Do not love you.   

If you kissed me, 
my lips would not swell in heat.

If you touched me, 
my skin would not tingle in recognition.

But I do love you. 
And I yearn for the warmth of your body. And,

I want your milk-soaked skin next
To mine.

So I would rather not love you at all
Than to want you all day long.
